Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Ok people , Look at the Calendar , it 30 days till the next Rendezvous , A collection of quality bluegill fisherman getting together for fishing , fun, friendship and food . What else can I say , I have been to the last 2 and I wont miss the next one . It is so good to be around like minded people that you talk to here on BBG, this time I get to put faces on the ones I talk to that I haven't met yet , Haha  and if you want to see what the Lord of the Fly Rods looks like all you have to do is show up. We have people coming from all over the country this time, it's going to be great , I wish yall can be there to but you have to make that decision yourself, we can't do that for you but you will be more than WELCOME if you can get here.  I guarantee you will have a good time.   LOFR

OK GUYS;; THURSDAY IS RENDEVOU DAY !!  EVERYONE IS INVITED;; FLY TYING DEMOS;;  COOKING BY LORD OF THE FLY RODS;;  FISHING IN ONE OF THE BEST LAKES IN THE U. S. A .; KENTUCKY LAKE !! ;; ((( WHICH IS ALSO ADJACENT TO LAKE BARKLEY )) !!  THIS IS THE MAIN; SPRING FLING !!   BRING YOUR FISHING RODS; AND JOIN IN ON THE FUN !!

Hey guys... How about a friendly competition between our BBG brothers and sisters at the Rendezvous? I've got trophies for the following 3 categories : Largest Bluegill, Largest Redear and Most Fish Caught. Participants would be required to keep up with the total number of eating size fish kept each day as well as weigh their largest Bluegill and/or Redear of the day. The competition would begin Thursday afternoon and conclude Saturday afternoon a couple of hours before LOFR's famous fish fry. All fish kept would be cleaned daily and go directly towards meeting our 'fish fry goal '. Please let me know what y'all think about my idea.
I look forward to seeing my old BBG friends and making many new ones.

HEY  JOE;; SOUNDS LIKE FUN BUDDY !  COUNT ME IN !   LOOKING  FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN !!

Same goes for me my friend. I can hardly wait...

Hey Joe glad to see you are coming. Can't wait to get out there and fish no matter what. You camping this year?

Yes sir. I lucked up and got the exact same camp as last year. I'm really looking forward to wetting a line with you again this year Keith.
Can't wait fellas going to load most of the car tomorrow night and load the yak after the girl gets done Wednesday night. Planning on hitting the road before 6am on Thursday.

THURSDAY NITE ;; DINNER MENU IS; SIMPLE;; HAMBURGERS AND FRIES;; BECAUSE EVERYBODY WILL BE ARRIVING ;; AT DIFFERENT TIMES;; FRIDAY NITE; IS SHRIMP; CRAWDADS; RED BEANS N RICE;; SATURDAAY NITE;; FISH FRY NITE !!

Not sure if I worry more about the ruckus you guys are about to blow the roof down with, or the food commas. In either case, photos!! Videos!!

So  , here we are on the cusp of the next great BBG  adventure,the waiting is over , I'm arriving Thursday  with  Mountain Mike  and this is going to be fun  I have been packing and getting things ready since last week . We are going to eat good , get a little fishing in, load the boat with fish, break out the electric knife and turn them into fillets and eat again.  photos to follow . I am also bringing some BenGay  for my elbow  , just in case I have Bluegill Elbow , like tennis elbow , but it's from pulling in too many fish. Folks we will try to post as many photos as possible, I know pictures is worth a thousand words but nothing takes the place of being there. We will try to have as muck fun as possible for those of you that can't join us this time , but let me suggest make plans for next year , these Rendezvous  are getting bigger and better every year, and they will only get better with you there. LOFR

LOOKING REAL FORWARD TO MEETING OLD FRIENDS AGAIN;; MEETING NEW ONES TO !!  TO EVERY BIG BLUE GILL MEMBER;; HOPE YOU GUYS CAN COME TO ONE OF THE RENDEVOUS;; ITS A GURANTEE;  YOU WILL  HAVE FUN; GREAT FOOD;; MEET SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE  AROUND !!  MAKE YOUR PLANS NOW FOR NEXT YEAR !!  ACCOMADITIONS ARE LIMITED AT THE PARK THERE !!

The amount of chaos y'all be causing there this year, they may band you LOL Just keep the craziness to a terror scream.
